Move Jetways Up and Down Key Not working

[Gabe777]

Hi.

Problem at an airport - where jetways are lying on or near ground - not high enough.

The Q and Z keys are having no effect on the height.

Thnx

Nowhere the manual says you can move jetways up and down. The picture at Page 4, the "Editing Jetways in 3D mode", clearly lists Q/Z are used to change the LOGO. Jetways cannot be freely moved up/down, this has been discussed many times on the forum, for example here:

I see.

So when it says "Raise Object" .... it should read "Raise Position of a Logo on the Jetway".

Glad that's clear.

So..... the obvious question now begged, is: why is the GSX program reading the elevation of the FlyTampa EHAM airport, incorrectly ? This must be the case, as the jetways are 6 inches above the tarmac ? !

Thnx

You could try this solution:
by entering the parking customization page and clicking on the small airplane icon where it says "Ground Elevation", this will read the current elevation from the sim, and would fix the floating jetways.

Ah, thnx. Didn't even see that.

Thank you Sir.

So when it says "Raise Object" .... it should read "Raise Position of a Logo on the Jetway".

The Q/Z keys, which for OTHER objects that CAN be raised, which are basically only the Wall-mounted or L-Support Docking System, when you edit a JETWAY are used for a different function, which is CHANGING the logo, not "raising" it.

Of course, this would have been obvious if you read the paragraph on the page following that screenshot, which is named

"Key presses specific to Jetway editing, when editing a JETWAY"

- Q/Z Cycles between different Jetway logos, if the “Logo” Accessory is enabled.

Glad that's clear.

No, you got it wrong. Now I hope is clear.

So..... the obvious question now begged, is: why is the GSX program reading the elevation of the FlyTampa EHAM airport, incorrectly ? This must be the case, as the jetways are 6 inches above the tarmac ? !

GSX is not reading the position incorrectly. You have an elevation conflict problem caused by two sceneries specifying different ground altitudes for the same airports.

You can fix this by clicking the small airplane icon in the parking customization page which says "Airport Elevation".
